In your own words, Please type why you think you were banned

I was Banned for Poor Role Play at the start for Shooting down an officer and Racking up kills like i was playing a First person shooter server this was what i got banned for Killing PC Damien Wood RDM. I killed him with Zero Rp but it wasn't this act that lead me to the ban it was the attitude and play style of being trigger happy and looking for an excuse to shoot and kill on a Role play server. This will always lead you to a downfall where you become a player not wanted on the server as People want quality Role play and not KOS Itchy fingers this is where the original ban occurred and i began to dig holes for my self. I', going to explain my actions and my mind set and not sugar cote it at all as Wilco you asked for the truth and i'll be completely honest. When i was appealing i got my self into the mind set of never returning to ALUK ever again i thought i could out smart the Staff Team and use a VPN to make a new forum account and to try and make a new identity to bypass the ban and to start a new chapter for my self i then had a flame war between TI and My self on my appeal and replied on the other account and showed my self up and try to lie about it like a fool i lied and then after being community banned i took to trolling team speak i wasted time of various people but never abused anyone Brat Eventually got me on my own and just told me he was disappointed i made a fool of my self and tried to get a 1 up on Neo in a VPN spam by returning constantly with immature names and remarks i wish to apologize to everyone as time has punished me the most with the after math of my actions still affecting me today I thought bypassing was an easy option trust me it inst facing and accepting punishments on the chin and being honest will always leave you better off and i crave and miss my identity in this community as i was liked by many a person and pretending hurts you more then anyone as you can not be your self and i always found this Community a place for everyone to be there self's judgement free

What have you been upto in the last 6 months+ ?

I have been up quite alot of in the Past 6 Months to be honest at first i had got up to nothing as my addiction to Arma began to cease when i was community banned i tried to pick up where i left off and found my self hitting dead ends in other area's of role play nothing worked for me i felt like a massive Rip in the Online gaming world that occurred so naturally i started to stay away from the computer and found my self getting into bother in my spare time and thus i was Removed from my house again..I was Sofa Surfing through out Christmas and returned January to my home and to my beloved computer of course naturally i started to play on my computer more hoping to return to ALUK i appealed but hand my appeal removed due to my timing with it all before framework this is when i started experimenting with other "places" But nothing clicked for myself but i'll save that for the next paragraph.. I still worked the same job and pursued my dream in the army as i currently have my medical examination coming up i have been working out getting fit and as always gaming hard and working hard but over the last 6 months i have done some things i gave up smoking which was a huge part of my life and now is gone. I also took my self out of a dark mentality of being negative and found my self and was free to be my self i've climbed a few mole hills and i plan to climb more

Why do you want to return ?

Me i want to return to the mother server i joined my most brightest RP memories are from this server the best RP is on this server the Best Community is with ALUK it has a great sense of spirit and and great people everywhere i miss it all so much from the day i was banned i have missed this Community more then anything and i have missed so many friends because of it i met some amazing people and i have the chance to meet a thousand more and be apart of some big changes and be reunited with so many people that i have dearly missed i don't think i can say to much on this subject as i find explaining emotion difficult but i have appealed many a time and wrote essays and pleaded many a time and when my friend SGT AtA messaged me telling me i might have a chance of returning i was over joyed at the thought of playing with friends again this is my only chance and shot to be apart of ALUK again and i will not let it sail past me as i want to be back in Kavala Role playing and getting stuck in the Community again like i used to do i miss my Old forum account and identity and who i was and thinking of it all makes me sad as i type this and i wish nothing more to be reunited with everyone i left behind because of my actions

Why should we unban you ?

Honestly I'm a changed man i was an arrogant immature person and becoming a better person is still something i am working on and having this punishment done to my taught that to me i took alot for granted! its the small things that you get you i might sound crazy but the Role play here is one of a kind and you wont find it else where fact... I would never break another rule again and be an example of Role play to all to encourage players to the standard of role play needed and be an active forum user and in game person if i was unbanned i would go straight for the police and get stuck into Role play at the deep end and show everyone that i'm here to have fun,Role play,and Bond and connect with people.
I've got a tight pain in my chest as i type this as i over think have i wrote enough but to be honest im pouring my emotion and heart out into this I've seen all aspects of role play everywhere and i find ALUK the one place that will always feel like home
Please give me one last chance this means so much to me and i really mean that i miss everything about ALUK

@scottmcdermottNeo is on his way with some chatlogs he would like you to explain.

In the meantime I have checked my endless notes and have typed some comments about you.

"Very aggressive person and very child like, Now he has left the community he has been popping up on communitys that house banned players like GC's community and Dusts community and has been seen hanging in channels with Master Edwards aka George Agdgdgwngo"

I would like you to explain why I have come to the conclusion that you have come across aggressive and child like ? Also.... how is your activity on twitch ?

 

[Gc Scott Mcdermott]

I'm going to be comletely honest and i know its going to sound Awful so but nothing will make this situation for my self to better if i sugar cote things so hear i go

I was so Salty and Riled up like a child and did not take any of it on the chin i took it like a child and not a man leeched on with George because i felt like we shared in common we was outcasts of another community and i didn't feel so lonely with it all having just lot an endless supply of people i called friends and i know exactly why you that conclusion has been made

When i first joined the Community i had an issue between me and pat pepper and i thought i was a big man going off on one and being absolutely toxic and speaking in an utterly garbage way i only heard that voice note once and it made me cringe i was new to Online Community and thought at the time my actions that day would never follow me to this day i am honestly not an aggressive person but i am an idiot because that day i was not using my brains and was trying to show off as the big man and i feel very embarrassed about it as it has created an image for my self with the staff team

I Know i did so much wrong and i have been facing the consequences for a very long time i was such a "with all due respect" twat and acted like a idiot because i was upset and cut up but i have made physical and spiritual leaps and bounds as person and if i am declined today i will swallow my pride like i should of done that day i banned and got down the path with bad people that are known with a bad reputation i wanted to be affiliated with people in this server like @SPC Hoggieand @aTagood people not trolls and Toxic Voice notes i want to start a fresh and show everyone the potential i have for being a committed honest member of ALUK i am so desperate right now to be back with the people i deeply care about and the community i love i'm sorry to everyone was a fool to in the past but this is my last ever chance to return and i don't want to miss it i'm speaking from the heart right now and i don't care who see's it

I am responding to this unban apeal , with permission from Wilco him self ( been shown a screen shot , from Scott that i have the all clear to respond.

So i am going to give my honest opinion on Scott.

Before i met scott on the other server. I use to have bad feelings about him and the members of the gang GC in which i had a lot of tension with them as i was a cop and they where rebels.

I them started playing with him with Cobra who i am very good friends with. Before some other admin has a go at me , i have allready spoken to wilco about playing how to put it else where without being banned.

My opinion on Scott is he can be a little hot headed at times as we all do. But my persoanilty did change towards him and his friends when i started to get him and the others better.

I am not 100% sure of what things he had said during his time before ban , but from talking to them about ALUK in general , they are feeling pretty shit about being banned and would love to come back.

My opinion is that i think he has changed since as i would even say he was a salty person who was not nice to be around before. 

In the end i feel he is a decent guy and is nice to have a chat with and i think a final chance , meaning you fuck up and you are gone for good type thing.

I am unaware of the logs that aparently Neo has against Scott , but in the end that is none of my buisness , i am only here to state my honest opinion on him.

If possible could @Wilco back me up here and say he has given me the all clear to post this , as i dont not want to get penalised for posting here. 

Hope this can help in some form of way.

- Hoggie

edit -

I would like to point out Scott was well known for being a dick during disputes VIA TS , but from what i have see. He has delt very proffesionally and mature when having dispute else where. I do belive this is something good that shows change in his personailty.

 

[Hoggie]

To finish up , i will not respond to this unban apeal any more unless asked my a member of staff , i will not respond if asked too by Scott , only if i am asked to by a member of the ALUK staff team.

Kind regards , Hoggie

Hoggie will you vouch for him?

Even if it means that if he's banned again, so will you?

It's easy to say kind words but not when your neck is on the line as well.

 

[Hoggie]

Hoggie will you vouch for him?

Even if it means that if he's banned again, so will you? Or you don't know him that well?

I would vouch to give him another chance , but clearly it would be a last chance , and if there would be any fuck ups like being hostile to people or anything to the lines of that or just general rule brokens then clearly he will be permanently banned again.

I do feel it has been a long time and people do mature / change over time. So i do think a strict final chance could be the answer to this apeal.

pretty key line you haven't answered.

So your answer is no? Don't trust him enough to have your neck on the line?

This is a clean slate, this gives him the chance to appeal again if banned so this is not a one time thing.

This is also a golden opportunity, not another unban appeal to fill out... this is for people that truly changed and we want to welcome back and hope they are better than before.

I would say i love this community too much to face banning because i am trying to help someone with an unban apeal. I would not put my kneck on the line as i do not ever want to get banned or even risk being banned.

I do feel he has changed , as i use too think of him a " a hostile cunt" , but after getting to know him , my opinion changed. I do feel he is a decent person to talk to and play with. 

I do know he was very well known for being a hostile person. But from dispute i have been with him playing else where , he is not like that any more and can deal with situations in a mature and non hostile way.

I would suggest that a meeting with Scott could work out , so you could get to know him not from typing in a comment box , but achually via TS.

I do feel a very strick final chance could very well happen , in which if he fucks up , then he can never , ever apeal again for an unban apeal for ALUK. Unless its something small like a accidental VDM

Hope my opinion helps , but i do not wish to get banned from ALUK ever , so i will not be risking my position in the community.

- Hoggie

Edit - The only perma banned member , i would risk my position is a Cobra / Anon / Anominous , and i would be happy to state my opinions when he puts up his unban apeal today.

Happy to help, i would also say i would only rspond on a thread like this with permission ( like i had from Wilco)

 

[Gc Scott Mcdermott]

I would not get into a position with my self where i would face a ban again ever after spending time in other area's of arma you see the Poor Role play and you Craze and miss it honestly i know it sounds crazy but you do if i was un banned today I'd go straight for the police and never take anything for granted again and i mean that i was banned originally for lack of RP and that would never be an issue again i would follow the rules like a bible if there's anything i can do to gain my self a spot back in ALUK i will do it and i mean that !! i'm sorry to everyone that i was a fool with and i hope you can forgive me allow me to progress as a person and be allowed back in the Community  

 

[Gc Scott Mcdermott]

Give me this one Golden Chance and i will show you all the person i can be and what i am like now i would make you all proud and be a good entrance to the Community again and i mean that nothing but positively energy from my self i may have a few haters and i may have a few friends but i just want a fresh slate to prove everyone wrong from the Community to the Staff Team   

 

[Mr Cardoso]

Scott i will strongly advise you not to spam or bump, your just showing impatience... show us otherwise.

Just because we didn't answer doesn't mean we didn't read, besides this appeals have no time frame.

 

[Wilco]

"I honestly do not think that Scott has changed at all"

"Very toxic person"

"Acts like a child to try and get his way"

"Do not unban him, he will just be the same"

Are just parts of some of the comments I have personally received about you in the last 24 hours, We await Neo on this.

 

[Neo]

To be honest, I don't need to get all my logs.

There are various audio recording, plus the people you decided to hang around with.

You actually stated to me you were too young/immature for all this, and to my response I said. Wait until the framework is released, but here we are.

Here's my personal statistics of teamspeak bans per say.

That 74 spike, that was you and your new friends bombarding the support team with needless work.... To be honest, you're partly responsible for the fact we have a security level on teamspeak slowing people down in joining teamspeak.

And then if you got banned in the future? what would happen then.

One of the main things I'm looking at in this appeal is what you've been upto since. 

The keywords that you've failed to follow are 6 months....  you've been banned since November, that's 3 months.

If it's upto me, Denied. See you in 3 months when you actually hit the 6 month mark (02/05/16)

 

[Wilco]

Weighing this all up, I really cannot see you being able to return here.

Alot of very loyal community members that rarely speak out have even voiced there concerns of you returning, I am going to say thanks for your appeal but you have caused people and our community too much hassle.

What happens if you get banned again, and by your previous attitude its likely you will... we would be dealing with issues created by you and the people you associate yourself with.

3 out of 5 of the management team have had a discussion and its a no for now, You may re-appeal in 6 months time from now if you decide to keep your nose clean from this.
